Propane Cylinder Safety | Connection Requirements |
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a fire or explosion causing property damage or personal injury.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and transported with extreme caution in a se- cured upright position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a repu- table, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill designed for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed for Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different types of gases should be directed to your local gas supplier.
